I prefer to consider history as a guide.The best solution would be a layered model similar to the blender on my kitchen counter. You pay a one time fee for posession of a blender, but you must also pay a monthly service charge for the electricity it uses and any fees associated with the items being "blended".

I have read numerous writers and bloggers claiming the coming of Web 2.0, and even Web 3.0. I don't remember anyone, actually involved in building the "World Wide Web", declaring a version one.The Internet is about services being served by servers. Whether acting as a remote datastore (html, images, xml, etc.) or providing access to interactive processes via server scripts and cgi, it has always been this way. Maybe I'm just to old to really "get it".
